An exploration of a sixty-eight-year-old small-business owner's life and his reckoning with his past decisions.

A CALLING FOR CHARLIE BARNES, by Joshua Ferris: This is a fine American novel about family, love, and a decent but flawed man trying to be better. In dark times like these, I can’t recommend this book too highly. It’s strong. – source2021-10-23T17:51:56.000Z
